(The sera )er is also adopted vfor olesnin?T the roller.) s shown, the shari t S7 is initially turned l) ineens of the handle so as to hold down t 1e finger 94 as in Figure i8, and at the seine time it lifts the rollers 92- ont oi Contact with the. driving rollen-14 S6. The peper being fed in and odjusted nioeljT against the iinffers 94, a turn of the handle 95' downward will lilt the ngors 94 and lnrin'g the rollers 92 in Contact with the rollers 86, whereupon the paper willbeoontinuously fed into the machine. It will he understodd of course that because of the b pered forni oi the several rolls the paper 1 inust travel faster at one end than :it the otlierend the movement under lthe several rolls 92 will be veria-nt woording to the position along' the nmohine.

roo

n d ol course filter the peper lios vstarted in the ingors Q4 will he lowered again in order to ontoli und adjust the next sheet on the ipilel when it is pushed in, and at the saine time the rollers ere raised otl the paper so that the Liso' that the movement of the sheets ol paper will vary according to the degree ol divergence ot the conical rollersl and vet the saine leerling rolls inav be always used. By reference to Figure i7 it will be seen that the paper com ing oil the table S4 is carried between the presser roll 4:3 and the winding roll l2, and havingh been attached to this latter roll in slot 823 at the beginning ol the operation, the paper is carried around by the roll t2 and in contact with the roll 35 which spreads an even coat oi the asphaltuiu composition on its surface, and the operation proceeds, it be inn` understood ot' course that the dill'erent sheets of paper are ted in continuously until the desired thickness ot the shell Jr'orined.

B v reason ol'l the tact that the central roll 42 rests upon the other rolls by its weight. and the. ball and'soelwt bearing and lateral mljustabilit)v oll the roll 45, it will be seen that rolls ot varying tapers can, be readily used, and the thickness ot the tube will be automatically accoiumiiidated as thowiudiiur proceeds.

The shell having been tinished, the winding roll 42 will be elevated in the 'position shown in Figure t3, whereupon the, eccentric bar i7h turned to release the paper, and by loosening the set screw 7S the movable rection 77 oi the windingV roll ma)v be drawn oil' the end of the shaft 4l, drawing the entire shell oli' the former. eveie, it is generally advisable to malte use ot the knives for triiingr up the two edges, which is done by shoving the handles 103 inward io place ihe knives in position as shown in Figure 27 to ent the edges in proper torni, bv eooperating with the slots in the tno ends ot the roller` 'lhe shell mayY now' be hungr up to dry, the later, and a new section 77 being supplied to complete the `former, read7 vfor starting a new shell.

lt will be understood ot course that the form and proportions of the rollers will be varied to suit the 1kind ot shell or cylinder to be made, and bv the various adjust ments the amount oi" binding` material in use ina-jv' be varied by adjusting the scraper 7U, and the coinpactncss of the tubo may be varied by changing the pressure on the roll 45, all of which movements are eliected by shifting the eccentric bearing 48, by means of' the lever (3.3, as heretofore dcscrilied. it will be understood that these levers mayY be operated b v power when desired, so that tlie whole macliiiioinay be controlled by a single man stationed at one. place. The binding material l pi'el'er to use for cenicnting the layers ot* pa per together is an asphaltuin composition, having considerable body, and this has also the advantage oi'A preserving thepaperagainst moisture when '.n the ground. The scraping Previous to this how-l section 77 remaining therein till'i knife will at times be pressed close to the pasting roller to clean oil' its surface, it must be understood that the asphaltuin tends to. accumulate thereon.

Having; thus described my invention and illustrated its use, what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is the following:
